I'm a big believer in operating funding. We need operating funding to allow us to do what we do. I went to a presentation last week, and I know that Canada Council is streamlining all its grants. As a small organization—even the $2 million organization, which you may think is big, is small—we have limited administrative staff. So, we have to apply for layered grant on grant on grant. We need that base of operating funding so that we can make wise decisions.
I would very much support an increase to Canada Council for operating funding. It would be wonderful if the federal government could do that and also encourage the province and cities to follow suit, by your example.
